Miyabi unconsciously took a step back before realizing what he was doing. Visibly scolding himself for showing weakness, he forced the expression of fear on his into a twisted sneer, "Even if his powerful, so what? He can't win against one of Fairy Tale's top assassins." he snapped his fingers once.
The group of girls huddled on the bed sat frozen in shock as a silhouette obediently appeared behind Miyabi.
Kokoa's ruby red eyes widened in shock as she heard her sister let out a shocked breath as they both recognized the person standing submissively behind Miyabi, "Ka-Kahlua Ne-Nee-san? Wha-what are you doing here?!"
The entire room fell quiet as Mizore, Ruby, Yukari and Ruby stared at the two vampires in shock, they had another sister?
Instead of answering the question, the newcomer softly smiled in a loving and affectionate way at the two vampires on the large wedding bed, "Ko-chan... Mo-chan... It's been a long time. You're both so beautiful now..."
"Enough talk." The red haired man cut in sharply, "Kahlua, stop the intruders." He smiled maliciously, "In fact, kill him. She will be pleased if you manage to do so."
Kahlua flinched and managed to give a sad whimper as feelings of wanting to help her sister conflicted with her need for her mother's approval inside her. the struggle was nearly visible on her visage, but ultimately Kahlua yielded to her orders and did nothing but bow her head even lower and began to leave the room.
Ruby and emerald eyes widened once more in horror, Naruto had always told her in private that if it had not been for his experience and skill, he would likely have lost against Inner Moka. She didn't think that even Kuyou was capable of defeating her older sister. So she knew that no matter how strong Naruto was, she didn't think that he could stand up against a proficient vampire assassin like Kahlua. Desperately, both Kokoa and Moka leapt off the bed and tried to stop Kahlua but the man with slicked back hair appeared behind them with incredible speed and restrained them with a happy grin.
When she failed to struggle out off Miyabi's grip even with her vampire strength, Moka shouted at her half sister in last ditch effort, "Kahlua-nee san! Please don't hurt Naruto!"
"Dont hurt Nii-sama, Khalua-nee sama!"
Kahlua stiffened in her tracks at her sisters' pleading voices before slowly turning around to show them a sad smile and eyes full of bright unshed tears, "This Naruto... Is he important to both you?"
Kokoa looked up at the third oldest daughter of the Shuzen family desperately.
"Yes." Despite the situation, there was no waver in Moka voice, "I... I love him." She whispered quietly.
A beautiful smile adorned Kahlua's lips, "Mo-chan... you're all grown up aren't you?"
"Nee-san?"
"I'm... sorry." She barely managed to choke out before running out the door, her rapid white heels made sharp clicking noises on the ice.

Three figures silently walked through a destroyed corridor littered with body parts and shattered rubble. Gin was striding casually with his hands in his pocket, only taking them out occasionally to steady the extremely pale snow woman who had likely never seen destruction of this degree before. Gin looked around sadly, not knowing if it was better to feel so indifferent or quake in his shoes like Tsurara. Regrettably, having been in more than one massacre he was already used to it, mostly whenever his werewolf side's primal instincts got the better of him.
At the fore of the weird threesome was a determined blonde dressed in a modified version of their school's uniform, aglow with an intimidating massive malevolent crimson aura.
Every step he took shattered the ground under his feet as it buckled under the pressure of his youki.
When the blonde stilled, Gin knew there was something wrong.
After diving straight into the melee with his massive axe and naginata earlier, the group of uniformed men who had called themselves Fairy Tale's first Division had scattered, finally taking the hint after the blonde with two faces had hacked and stabbed his way through nearly everybody in the entrance hall. They had not encountered anybody willing enough, or brave enough, to stand up to him until now.
Both eyes; sapphire and crimson, focused on the group waiting ahead of them in the shadows of a ruined banister beside the stair case at the end of the corridor before growling one simple word in a dissonant rough deep voice that had a strangely choral quality to it.
As if there were two people speaking at once.
"Move."
As if knowing that the ambush had failed, a group of uniformed men surrounding two female figures slowly stepped out and slowly stood outside to reveal a pale woman sitting in a wheel chair, trapped in bizarre equipment and a restrictive jacket overlaid with sealing runes. The person slowly pushing the wheel chair was a slender girl, barely twenty years of age, dressed in a extravagant white dress, white gloves and boots, with exotic tanned skin and contrasting pale blonde hair that nearly looked bleached.
Ignoring the woman trapped in the weird chair like some weird bondage experiment, the only thing out of place was the fact that the girl in white seemed to be sobbing quietly.
The girl hiccupped once and bowed elegantly to the three of them, "I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to ask you to leave. Please. If you do, we will forget this insult to Fairy Tale and leave once our goals have been achieved."
He was slightly impressed the nicely dressed girl, who looked like she should be at a debutante party instead of amongst the rubble and blood stained floor, had not buckled under the pressure yet but didn't show it, instead he simply raised one eyebrow at the pleading girl, "Not until you return us our friends." He paused and a malicious grin spread his lips, showing normal even teeth on one side, and fanged ones on the other, "Please say no."
Tears began flowing down her cheek again, "I see... Are you... Naruto-san?"
Frowning at the change in conversation, the blonde simply nodded once.
She bowed once more apologetically, "I'm sorry..Hic... I'm so sorry." The tears got heavier and heavier as the baffled trio watched her begin to cry heavily, "My sisters really like you and they'll be sad that you disappeared, but even if I hate hurting them, I cannot let you pass if that is what my mother wishes."
Naruto's smile widened as the bloodlust emanating from him thickened the air due to the impending clash, "What is your name girl? I'll be sure to let your sister's know of your passing."
"I am Kahlua, Kahlua Shuzen." The crying gear intoned blandly as she vaulted into the air, her white gown fanning out behind her with sharp, glinting nails extended from the tips of her fingers.
One sapphire eye barely had time to widen in shock as Naruto himself got into a bestial crouch and leapt in to the air to intercept the blonde girl flying towards them.
Mid jump the blonde suddenly froze into place and his eyes glazed over. Seeing the blonde's lapse of attention, Kahlua immediately slashed her nails downwards with all her power, cutting Naruto's front to ribbons before spinning in mid air and landing a kick so powerful that everybody winced at the sound of Naruto's ribs snapping into pieces. Everyone watched in shock as blood fountained from the ten slash wounds on the formerly unstoppable monster's chest as his body was thrown at the opposite wall from the force of Kahlua's attack, crashing into it violently and bouncing off with a wet thud before coming to motionless stop.
"Naruto!"
Kahlua wiped her continuous tears with one bloodied hand, "I'm sorry Moka, Kokoa." Regaining her composure slightly, she gestured to the men behind her and softly voiced a short order, "Kill them."
Rousing themselves from their shock at the blonde's easy defeat and awe at the slight blonde girl's power, the men immediately charged forward gleefully with a triumphant roar.
Just as they were about to cut the motionless blonde to pieces with their weapons, two gunshots rang out in a chamber, immediately dropping two men in black suits while a large brown blur crashed into them like a bulldozer, throwing them away from the defenceless body.
"What's going on?" the pale snow woman tensely demanded from the large werewolf beside her.
"I don't know. I've never seen him like that in all our fights." He growled back, equally confused.
****Naruto's mindscape****
"What are you doing, cancelling the merge like that?! You're going to let that stupid girl kill you, KILL US, you fool!" a massive fox spirit roared and thrashed violently inside a cage.
"Are you mad? Didn't you hear her NAME?! She's Moka and Kokoa's sister!" a small blonde figure roared back at him while dodging the nine flailing tails and massive paws trying to crush him.
"So what?! What of your promise to save your mate?! She was in our way; will you let that stop you?! Stop US?!" The titanic kitsune roared back, trying his best to crush the puny human standing in front of it.
"Wake up Kurama! Can't you see your bloodlust has gotten the better of you?!" Naruto clenched his fists as the dark, mindless eyes of a beast focused on him.
Naruto could only groan in frustration as the Kyuubi's roars devolved into a demented aria of continuous, "Kill...KILL...KILLKILL!"
Gritting his teeth, he flicked one hand, causing chains to lash out from the four points of the cage, temporary calming down the Kitsune's thrashing before jumping up onto the Fox Spirit's head.
Red mindless pupils rolled around in their eye sockets to focus on the bug on its snout.
He reared back his forehead, "WAKE UP, YOU STUPID FOX!" and head butted the millennia old fox's forehead so hard that the chains snapped as the massive fox was thrown into the back of the cage with an incredibly loud smash.
Landing lightly on the dry floor, Naruto groaned and rubbed at his forehead before looking up at the titanic fox which slowly slid down the wall onto its rump. Its massive canine jaw had dropped open and the fox somehow managed to look surprised and chagrined, but Naruto found what he was looking for.
The light of reason had returned to the fox's crimson eyes.
"You feeling better?"
The Kyuubi slumped onto its four legs and slowly moved forward with earth shaking steps, flopping onto its belly tiredly with a rumble that would have caused an earth quake, shaking its head as if to throw off its confusion, opening and closing its jaw as if to say something, yet whatever it wanted to say failed to escape its massive throat.
The two of them stared at each other silently until the Kyuubi averted its eyes, "Sorry."
Naruto chuckled and he began to walk out of the cage again. Stopping just short of exiting the cage, he lifted one hand to touched the burnished bars of the cage, "Do you remember what you told me when we were about to merge for the first time?"
The Kyuubi grunted, "It would give you the power to fight my controlled comrades on even footing, but no man, dead or alive can survive merging with a millennia old spirit like me, at least not without terrible consequences." It reiterated the words that it had said so long ago, "So what? You regretting it now? You regret losing your inhibitions and constantly being in danger of losing yourself to your anger and bestial instincts?"
Naruto smiled, "No. But I wasn't the only one who has changed. Think on it you old bastard, while I go save my girlfriend." And with those words, the black clad blonde slowly vanished from the cage.

"Isn't he awake yet!?" a large beefy werewolf growled as he dodged several bullets, swiping his claws at a group of uniformed men as he tried to keep them away from the snow woman who was kneeling on the floor beside Naruto, holding blocks of ice on the blonde's chest to stop the bleeding when flowing white cloth obstructed his view and he felt a surprisingly slim foot crush his ribs with one mere kick, "Guuaaah!"
"Morioka-san!" Tsurara screamed as the large werewolf hit the wall beside her and slumped down with a groan, trying and failing to regain his balance and stand up again.
A slim girl in an elegant dress landed daintily and began calmly striding towards them, her ruthless calm belying the fact that she was still crying and hiccupping with one hand raised to cut Mizore's mother down in cold blood when an incredible gust of freezing wind blew down the corridor, powerful enough to blow the well dressed vampire back a few steps, and yet failed to do anything more than slightly ruffle Tsurara's kimono.
"Kyaaa!"
Reluctantly, Kahlua parted her eyelids to find her three targets missing.
"Gin, Tsurara-san. Free the Snow priestess, the head up that stairs. I can sense Moka and the rest in that tower." A voice calmly ordered them.
"Ha-hai."
"Tsk, took you long enough."
Naruto chuckled and disappeared again with another gust of wind. Kahlua had to wrench her eyes shut to protect them from the sharp wind. By the time she opened them again she was met with the sight of all fifty of her subordinates were no longer conscious and sprawled out all over the hallway. Glancing around in a panick, she realized that the blonde was calmly walking away from her towards where the werewolf and the snow woman were unbinding the Snow Priestess.
"Stop!" the blonde vampire cried as she jumped forwards, trying to slash the blonde again when she found herself inexplicably sitting on the floor three feet away from where she had been standing barely seconds ago.
"Hu-huh?" she looked up in confusion and found herself staring straight at a finger that was almost touching her eyeball.
"Stay."
Kahlua yelped and jumped backwards from the blonde who hadn't even bothered to look at her directly. Tears splashed as she tried again and again to cut the blonde into pieces, screaming in frustration each time she found herself sprawled on her spot with that same finger pointing imperiously down at her, as absolute as the heavens themselves.
After countless failed attempts, her shoulds finally slumped down at her failure at fulfilling her mother's orders to kill everyone the Snow Village.
She heard a distasteful snort from the blonde as he finally moved away from her without a word.
As anger at his disrespect mixed with her tears and sadness, the blonde vampire tore off her earring, eliciting a gasp from the werewolf and two snow women as her thick youki flooded the hallway, grunting as he right arm spasmed uncontrollably before twisting and exploding outwards with a spray of gore and blood, revealing a mass of veiny, magnificently sharp blades shaped like bat wings.
"I'm sorry, I had to do this." She quietly sobbed out before disappearing from her location with speed surpassing even that of the strongest werewolves.
Only to find herself sitting right back at her original spot, looking up at a finger that was barely millimetres away from touching her eyeball and feeling strangely weak, as if the strength had been sapped out of her limbs, "Wha-what's going on?"
"Stay."
"What are you doing to me?!"
Naruto dismissively glanced down at the vampire under his finger and began walking away again.
Her vampire pride slowly began outweighing her sadness. Those eyes, those dismissive, disdainful eyes.
She hated them
And she saw them every day.
Every time she looked at her mother's beautiful face.
"Why won't you FIGHT ME?!" Kahlua hoarsely screamed at the blonde's back.
He threw another dismissive glance over his back, "I refuse to fight someone that doesn't have enough dignity to even try and fight her own destiny."
She flinched, "Wha-what?"
He turned around and stared at her disdainfully as his presence slowly climbed and climbed, causing her limbs to feel extremely heavy, "Claiming to hate this job, to apologise and yet carry it out just because you were ordered to by your mother even though you know you will be hurting the sisters you SAY you love so much." Naruto snorted, "I thought vampires had more pride than slaves."
His glare intensified, "YOU HAVE NO DIGNITY. WHAT ARE YOU? A VAMPIRE? OR A DOG?" he turned away again and began walking towards the trio at the stair case.
Giving a discordant scream at the blonde's words, Kahlua pointed her morphed arm at Naruto's retreating back. As she began channelling all the energy she could afford into her arm, orbs of youki slowly began gathering at the razor sharp points of the bat wings, casting the area around them with an ominous light, "STOP LOOKING DOWN ON ME LIKE THAT!"
She released her hold on the three orbs of bubbling youki and they exploded with incredible force, 3 magnificent rays of deep crimson light carved their way through the hallway, decimating anything in their way until they hit the blonde's back with a brilliant explosion of heat and light.
Slowly a triumphant smile spread on her lips, feeling strangely liberated as the remaining traces of the blonde's presence slowly dispersed like ashes in a strong wind.
A grin that was immediately wiped away as the presence returned with full force and the sound of his leather boots slowly clicking on the floor as a silhouette slowly formed amongst cloud of fragmented ice and steam, moving closer and closer.
Two blue orbs shone out of the smoke with a strong hum and the silhouette slowly materialized into the blonde as his slowly increasing presence loomed over her with crushing weight. Kahlua gasped for breath, it felt like she was being confronted by a monster and crushed under the weight of a mountain as it slowly approached her.
She had only felt something of this magnitude once.
It was the one and only time she had ever seen her father angry and cry the day after her stepmother's disappearance.
His jacket and shirt had been completely blown away, evidence that he had indeed taken her best attack in this form to the back with absolutely nothing to show for it except for a sight charring. Even that, along with the earlier slashes she gave him was regenerating with incredible speed as he healed right in front of her eyes.
Blue eyes glinted as he smiled down at her.
Wait, smile?
"Does it feel good to regain your dignity?" his solid presence suddenly vanished, and the monster in front of her was replaced with a normal, carefree person again. He offered her a hand that she eyed in disbelief.
Kahlua could only look at the offered hand in disbelief as she felt something unfamilliar rising in her chest.
"Fu... fu...!" the vampire begin giggling as she waved the hand away as her tears finally stopped flowing, "Thank you... No wonder Kokoa respects you so much." she replied sincerely.
"What are you doing girl!? Don't thank him! Kill him! His going to ruin everything!" A scratchy, ghostly voice interrupted them.
Both of them immediately tensed and turned back to see a strange sight. Tsurara and Gin were slowly and warily edging away from the freed priestess who was spasming in her wheel chair as if suffering from epileptic, her eyes rolled back to show the whites of her eyes as a white cloudy substance forced itself out of her mouth.
Naruto tilted his head curiously, "What are you?"
"I am the great Jack Frost, the embodiment of the Snow Priestess's 'Prophecy ability'; I am the one who is always telling the Priestess of what the prophecy holds." The ghostly apparition lifted one ghostly hand to point at the blonde, "Now kill him! Before he makes everything we've done so far worthless!"
A benign smile began spreading on Naruto's lips, "Worthless? Freeing the snow women from your prophecies that tie them down to men they don't love is worthless? Letting them make their own decisions is worthless?"
Only Kahlua detected the slight hitch in his voice and the mounting pressure thanks to her inherited ability to detect even the slightest changes in youki.
"Of course! I can see what the future holds and everything I've done is for the good of the Yuki Onna; this alliance with Fairy Tale, is the only way to avert the bloodshed that will befall us! If you don't stop y our ruthlessly selfish actions, Fairy Tale will bring their might down on us to show their displeasure!"
The smile got wider, "Then you shouldn't have made this deal in the first place isn't it?"
"It was the only way, I chose the smaller evil! Better to be enslaved then dead!" the ghostly spirit claimed pompously.
"Then you are wrong."
"I am never wrong. What I see is destiny, it is impossibl- GURK!"
The moment the spirit said the word 'impossible,' the pressure of Naruto's youki hit its peak as Naruto's hand lashed out at the spirit, a massive glowing clawed arm made of bubbling, solid youki grabbed the spirit in its titanic grasp, squeezing slowly, mimicking every movement that the blonde's significantly smaller flesh and blood hand made.
"Wha-what are you doing?! If you kill me the Snow Priestess will die as well! And without my guidance, so will every Yuki Onna!"
Sapphire eyes closed tiredly.
Naruto inhaled and exhaled once before speaking conversationally with the squirming spirit, "Every time I hear the word 'impossible'... it makes me want to prove everyone wrong. If we challenge ourselves, and never give up, our own horizons will broaden our hearts, our bodies and our minds... I need to push myself every day. I have to know what I can accomplish... I never give up, and so far, nothing has been able to stop me."
Glowing sapphire eyes snapped open and the spirit trembled in the burning fist, having great difficulty in even maintaining his form as Naruto released every one of his limiters for a split second, the full force of his unbound chakra crushing every sentient being in a five mile radius to their knees, gasping for breath.
It was all his power and skill, the pure essence of the individual named Naruto Uzumaki, uninfluenced by the Kyuubi.
The pressure disappeared as fast as it came and the blonde squeezed one last time before releasing the grip on the spirit, the crimson arm dispersing into tiny red flakes that were blown away by the cold wind, "I won't kill you. I won't even hurt you. I'll do better. I'm going to make you sit there, realizing that you were too weak for that responsibility and watch as I break your impossible destiny into tiny pieces. I'll make you watch as every Yuki Onna here realizes that destiny was made to be broken, rendering YOU completely useless. Isolated. Alone. Unwanted. Hated. USELESS."
"Will it be the right thing to do? I do not know. What I DO know, is that they have the ability to make their own choices. That alone is worth more than anything, even if their choices lead them down the path of Destruction, they will do it proudly, taking responsibility for their own choices." Naruto's eyes softened, "You are no diffferent. By trying to form this alliance with whatever this organization is, you were fighting back in your own way. Your only failure was not realizing there are paths than what you can already see."
Every word dug deeper and deeper as evidenced by the utterly broken look on the apparition's face.
"And he won't be alone. I've seen enough of this debacle. My people will stand strong even without the guidance of your prophecies. It will be hard, but we will learn." Naruto glanced down at the snow woman who had stepped up beside him, her back straight and proud with a small smile.
Naruto smirked and the trio began to ascend the stairs, leaving a grinning Kahlua and a speechless Snow spirit behind.
Naruto heard a snort in his mind, 'You haven't changed at all. Still talking them to death when you can just kill them. So much simpler.'
Naruto smiled contently.
****Amethyst Love****
A smiling Miyabi courteously spread his arms in welcome as a blonde, a werewolf and a snow woman calmly walked through the double doors that led to his wedding chambers, "Well, well, well. This is a surprise. I truly didn't expec-"
Naruto decked him straight through the window without even breaking stride.
Sapphire eyes focused entirely on emerald ones as he strode towards a misty eyed Moka as everything else in the room seemed to blur away for him.
A bright smile lit up her entire face as the girl threw herself as the approaching blonde, silky pink hair fanning out behind her as she buried her face into the crook of Naruto's warm neck, "I knew you'd come."
Naruto chuckled, "Of course I did. You make the best ramen."
Moka huffed and jokingly punched his gut even as she nuzzled his chest.
He felt another source of warmth bury itself into his stomach, causing him to look down and smile as he realized a short red head had latched on to him and was hugging him tightly. Smiling softly, he wrapped his arms around both of them tightly, he sighed in happiness at being back with his two favourite girls.
"Ah... how sweet."
All of them snapped towards the window where Miyabi had been flung out earlier, the slick man was nursing his bruised cheek with an amused smile, looking like being thrown out of a window was all in a normal days work.
"Everyone is back together; you've saved the day and your damsel." He clapped his hands together with a smile, "Happy ending, no?"
"What do you want?" Naruto asked with narrowed eyes.
"I've already gotten what I want." Miyabi casually replied with a smile, "I'll have to thank you though. If it weren't for you, this would have taken far longer."
A slight frown creased his forehead as he tried not to allow the man's taunting smirk get to him, releasing the two vampires, he stepped in front of them, "It looks like you're not gonna talk until I beat it out of you."
Miyabi tilted his head with a smirk, "Interesting. I felt your show of force earlier. Do you really think using force will solve everything? Especially in this era? How barbaric. Not everything can be solved with force little boy."
I want this one.
Naruto blinked, "Kurama?"
Don't argue. Just let me have this one.
"Why?"
...Think of it as an apology, for letting things get out of hand earlier.
"... Very well. Do as you will."

MIyabi smiled triumphantly as the blonde charged forward with crimson glowing eyes, like the brute humans obviously were. He easily jumped up to avoid the first punch and hung on to the ceiling, "Tsk. You just proved me right. Charging in like a blind rhino with no regard for your loved ones, even in a cramped chamber like this where they may get hurt. No subtlety or elegance whatsoever."
"Are you sure?"
Trying not to show how much that leer unnerved him, he easily parried a punch from the enraged blonde and returned an even stronger one of his own, only to widen his eyes in surprise as the deflected fist twisted in mid air, beyond human limits like a snake and hit his face full on, breaking his nose.
Cupping his nose, he stared at the blood leaking from his nose in surprise, "How?" he looked up, and found himself eyeball to eyeball with the smiling blonde.
Yelping he leapt backwards to regroup before trying to get behind the blonde with all his speed when the blonde disappeared, instinctively Miyabi jumped backwards onto the wall, avoiding a kick from behind. Both of them landed on the walls opposite from each other, crimson eyes met black ones for a split second before both pushed with enough force to crack the walls.
Fist met fist and the resulting force blew both of them away from each other.
The two of them raced around the room in blurs, out the window and onto the roofs of the decimated Snow Shrine, simultaneously fighting a high speed melee combat in mid air.
Or at least he was trying.
Miyabi wrenched his left limb of an armbar before slamming the blonde down with a hammer fist, desperately trying to buy enough time to get away from the blonde. He could feel the blonde's cheek bones breaking under his fists, and yet moments later, those bleeding red eyes reappeared in front of him and he felt a knee being shoved into his gut repeatedly.
Every time he hit the blonde, the blonde simply grinned wider and wider, no matter how much his face began to resemble a bloody hamburger, the blonde just kept smiling and coming at him. Meanwhile the blonde's own attacks hit him accurately, slowly wearing the red head down painfully. His opponent made a frightening vision, face and body beaten so badly, that he was nothing but a bloody, walking mass of bruises and broken bones, yet that smile and those gleaming blue eyes never changed, advancing on him absolutely.
His heart skipped a few beats as the possibility of being beaten entered his thoughts as the mangled blonde kept advancing on him, slowly inch by inch, tearing him apart. Growling lowly, the red head furiously shook the thought away and began moving again.
All the time, the smile got wider and wider, bloodier and bloodier with each hit.
And yet he somehow kept up.
Fully aware that there was a trick of some kind, Miyabi growled once and opened his clenched right fist with a wicked grin, if the blonde wanted to stay so close, then he would get what he wanted.
Ruby eyes widened in surprise as a few clay spiders darted out from the opening in the Fairy Tale Commander's palm, leaping a few inches to stick to his torso before exploding with violent force, throwing both of them away from each other.
He was about to smirk when those blasted red eyes suddenly rematerialized in front of him out of nothing but mist, like a ghost.
"What will it take to get rid of you?!" he roared in frustration at the futility of racing against the blonde, even as he glanced away to see the blonde that had been thrown away dissolve into mud.
The grin grew truly massive, "Nothing. Speaking of which, that arm, its not yours is it?"
Miyabi considered the weirdness of the situation, two of them darting around the castle at speeds near impossible for the naked eye to catch and holding a decently civil conversation about his arm, "I'm surprised you noticed. I have no idea where it came from; our boss detected a massive amount of youki being emanating from a sudden dimensional rift. When we went to check, we found this limb. Upon further investigation, we found that it had some unique properties, including turning whatever material that was fed into that mouth into explosives, though it seems that clay has the most potency."
"Ah. No wonder it seemed so familiar. I'll have it back now."
"What?"
The atmosphere around them suddenly warped and Miyabi gasped the blonde gripped his arm with an iron grip and literally pulled it out of its socket, causing him to stop and crash from the blinding pain.
Grimacing, he tried to stem the blood from the stub that used to be his arm with a few pieces of cloth "Yo-you're insane!" then he looked around and stumbled backwards as he realized something was wrong. The two of them were suddenly back in the wedding chamber, in the exact spot where they had been, looking like they had never moved and that the blonde looked completely fine despite his apparent injuries from their skirmish.
He could only speechlessly flap his gums as he stared disbelievingly at the blonde towering above him.
"It took you that long to notice?" Red eyes looked down on him before giving the detached limb in his grasp a distasteful look and burning it up with flames that appeared from nowhere.
"Wha-what? How?"
The blonde with ruby red eyes leered at him as the blonde leaned down to tauntingly whisper in his ear, "Subtlety. Something you apparently don't have."
Groaning, Miyabi propped himself up on the window sill, still in shock, "An Illusion... That was all an illusion?"
"And all it took you was an arm." Naruto chuckled ominously, "I seriously hope you're not in charge of anything important."
The rumpled red head began laughing and laughing while everyone else looked on in shock, "I thank you Naruto Uzumaki. I admit defeat, but I must thank you for showing me what you are truly capable off." He gave them one last triumphant grin despite his utter loss, "My boss will be happy." And with that, he back flipped out of the window.
Naruto dashed to the window with wide eyes, only to see the one armed Miyabi giving him a cheeky wave as he escaped with a helicopter.
Tch, he escaped.
"Don't worry. He'll be back. I just wonder what his true purpose was. I get the feeling that this isn't over." Naruto glanced down at the small leather bound book he had managed to snatch off the slick man, "At least it wasn't a total loss."
Despite the assurance, Naruto could feel Kurama grumbling as he retreated into the depths of Naruto's mind.
A gentle hand touched his shoulder, and Naruto felt the tension leace his body. Softly he covered the hand on his shoulder with his bigger one as he felt Moka lean into him.
Naturally that was when the walls around them started to crumble.
The sound of the building starting to fall around them seemed to remind Tsurara of something she had forgotten in the midst of all the fighting. She paled even further in chagrin, "The Snow Shrine! The forever lasting symbol of our village..."
"Now's kinda not the time to worry about that Shirayuki-san."
"A little! You said a little! How the heck is this little!?"
Everyone in the chamber looked at the topless blonde who gave them a cheesy grin.
"Oops?"
****With Miyabi****
"Was the mission successful?"
Miyabi grunted as he tried to stem the flow of blood from his shoulder before replying to his copilot's question, "Of course. I even managed to get a bonus or two."
"Heeh... Not bad. As expected of Fairy Tale's First Division Leader, even if you had to sacrifice nearly three quarters of our division for it."
"Information is power. Now the only issue is whether your old friend will take the correct path."
The slit eyed youth tilted his head in confusion, "Old Friend?"
Miyabi managed to grin despite his pale countenance from loosing so much blood, "A boy named Tsukune. Hokuto submitted a glowing report about his prowess. I was hoping that I could persuade him to join. Especially since he seems to have conflicted with that blonde recently."
The youth's disturbing grin grew even wider.

Author's Note
Kur0Kishi = Anti harem. Period. So you guys can stop asking now. I won't do it unless making a harem basically serves a purpose other than being pointless fluff and fanservice. Yes I'm a guy. No I'm not a tranny. I just happen to think women should be treated with respect, even in fiction where people can freely be jerkwads from behind their computer screens.
Idealistic? Stupidly so.
Will I change? Fk No.
Short chapter, I know. Mid terms in about 5 hours, but I just wanted to get this out of my system.
